Preface to the Edition of 1887.

The Biographical Directory of the Railway Officials of America
was first issued in 1885. It was at once found to be of great value
for reference, being the only available medium for obtaining informa-
tion of the history of those who are conducting the various depart-
ments of railway management and operation. The many official
changes and additions which have been going on in the last three
years have made a new and completely revised edition necessary, and
this volume is now presented to meet the demand. It is modeled on
the plan which proved so acceptable in the first volume, but it is other-
wise in every respect a new work, every name having been taken up
separately and made the subject of research and correspondence, large
numbers being di'opped on account of death or retirement from serv-
ice, while in the case of very many of those remaining changes were
found to have occurred in their position and history. In all respects
this second edition, when compared with that of 1885, furnishes im-
pressive evidence of the many and rapid changes which are taking
place in the personnel of American railway officials.

The number of general and division railway officers named in this
volume is 4,639, showing an increase of 1,700 names compared with
the first edition, and the number of pages has been increased from
276 to 416, involving, of course, a great increase of labor and ex-
pense. The body of the work is occupied by concise biographical
records of railway service, with a supplementary list giving recent
official changes and some records received too late for mention in
their appropriate places. This is followed with an alphabetical list
of all general and division officers whose records are not given in the
preceding pages. That their biographies are omitted is chiefly due to
the neglect of these officers to respond to requests for the necessary
information, though it is also to be noted that in many cases the offi-
cial career has been so brief or so little varied that there' is no occasion
for a biographical sketch. For example, most presidents, secretaries
and treasurers have occupied no other official position, and hence have

no railway record to give. A list is appended of prominent railway
officers who have deceased since the tirst Biograj)hical Directory was
prepared. It will be found of much interest as a mournful reminder
of the fact that this generation of eminent men is rapidly passing
away.

The scope and purpose of this work were set forth in the preface to
the first volume, fi'om which it may be allowed to make the following
extracts :

" The railway army in America numbers about 600,000 men, com-
manded by some 5,000 general and division officers, in whose official
positions and location frequent changes are being made; and yet
hitherto there lias been no attainable information by which, knowing
a railway officer's name, his railway connection and address could be
learned. The primary object of this work is to give an alphabetical
list of the railway officers of the United States, Canada and Mexico,
with present title, name of railway, and postoffice address. That
such a list, aside from its personal interest, will be of very great
practical value to railway men and to the many thousands in various
branches of trade and manufacture who have biisiness relations with
railway officers needs no argument. In innumerable cases it happens
that a railway officer's name becomes known by means of a letter, a
telegram, or a chance introduction to another railway man, to a man-
ufacturer or to some other lousiness man, without definite information
as to his connection. Often his road is mentioned only by its initials,
or, still more frequently, is not given at all, so that the excellent Official
Guide, which is indexed only by roads, gives no aid in locating him;
even if the road is given, the name desired may not be in the pub-
lished list of officers. Only an alphabetical list will supply the infor-
mation, and such a list is here for the first time given. This is the
first distinguishing characteristic of the "Biographical Directory of
the Railway Officials of America.'''

' ' The second characteristic peculiar to this work alone is its record
of the railway history of the officers named. Railway records have
only begun to be made. The tirst generation of railway men has
hardly passed away, and yet the history of most of the railway officers
of to-day is a record of many changes and great progress — a record,
too, full of encouragement to those who are ambitious to rise in their
chosen profession. The fact that nearly all of the great railway man-
agers of to-day have risen, by their own exertions, from the humblest
ranks in the profession, is the best evidence that other young men
may do likewise. ' ' What man has done man can do, ' ' is the inspir-
ing incentive to be gained from these pages by the ambitious and per-
severing.

" It is easy to see that the contents and value of this Biographical
Directory will increase vastly as the years go on and the career of

PREFACE. V

each officer is lengthened out and the number of names is continually
increased. The sad record of the dead, too, will form a feature of
growing interest, as the intellectual greatness of the men who become
eminent in railway management and operation is more and more ap-
preciated by the world, and as railroading becomes more and more a
recognized science. These men do a great and benificent work for their
day and generation. Their names and histories should not be allowed
to jDerish as soon as they pass from the scenes of their exciting and
wearing activities. From these considerations it will be seen that the
biographical feature of this work is destined to be of very great and
increasing vahae and interest."

It is the belief of the editors that this second volume will be found
still more vahiable than the first, and that its reception will justify
the enormous amount of labor which has been involved in its prepa-
ration, extending over many months, and involving the work of many
hands, and the preparation of probably a hundred thousand commu-
nications. To the co-operation of most of the railway officials of the
continent the editors are indebted for the accomplishment of their
task. It is hoped that in the next issue of this Directory every re-
cord will be complete.

]I^^Special attention is called to the fact that a considerable num-
ber of additions and changes made after the body of the work was in
press will be found in the appendix, bringing the record down to the
latest practicable date.

The superiority of these Car Bearings is well attested by the follow-
ing statement, copied from page 307 of The Railway Review, of May
2ist, 1887, of a report of a meeting of the New England Railroad Club,
in a discussion on axle bearings, dust guards and lubrication, by Mr.
John Chamberlain, Foreman Car Shop Boston & Albany Road, AUston,
Mass.:

" I think the friction between the axle and the lead lining is a good deal over-
" estimated, and the reason I think so is this : Out of some 700 or 800 brasses that I
"kept the mileage of, the average mileage when the lead had worn through so as to
"show the brass was 33,000 miles. Now, with that short 1-16 of an inch of lead to
*' run through until the point is reached where it shows brass beneath, I can hardly see
" where the great friction is between the lead lining and the journal."

Mr. Coney: — "Did you take them off after they wore through the lead?"
Mr. Chamberlain: — "No, sir; they ran up to 70,000 miles; but they had 8 or
" 10 times the thickness left (of bronze) after they had run the 33,000 miles."

These bearings are all cast face down, with large sprues, and bored
out before the lead lining is put in. Their continued use on many roads
for over 13 years, is sufficient evidence of their value.
